Book Excerpt for the Day


    Dad followed me.  He sat down with a loud exhalation and turned to stare at me.  After twenty-seconds of uninterrupted comical glaring he joked: “If you’re on drugs you can tell me you know.”

    I lowered the magazine and laughed a muffled response.  “If I was on drugs I would never tell you.”

    “Why not?” he feigned surprise and hurt.  “You’d be missing out.  We could share.  I have a cupboard full back home.”

    “Really?”

    “Sure.  Uppers, downers, lefters, righters.  I got the lot.”
